Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 4 cups cooked rice
Directions
Step 1
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables.
Step 7
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is coated with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Step 8
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Step 9
Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice.
